Yamiguru's Three Little Steampunk Pigs Bento Box

Here is a tutorial I put together to combined Steampunk, Fairytales, and Food. This also includes the Upside-down Cherry Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe.

What is a Bento Box? It is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine.

Important Note: Make the dessert first. The starch balls take up to 40 minutes to cook And Jell-O takes some time too.

Step 1: Food Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon Teriyaki Sauce
• 3 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 4 Pieces of Cooked Rigatoni Pasta
• ¼ Teaspoon Crushed Garlic
• 1 Can of Spam
• Roasted Seaweed Half Sheets
• 1 Teaspoon Instant Beef Bouillon
• 3 Drops of Red Food Coloring
• 2 Cups of Uncooked Long Grain Sweet Rice
• Cheddar Easy Cheese
• French Fried Onions
• Cooking Spray
• White Sesame Seeds
• Green Giant Steamer Vegetables (Sliced Carrots, Black beans, and Edamame in butter.
• 5 Slices of Colby Jack Cheese
• 5 Slices of Medium Cheddar Cheese

Dessert Ingredients

• ½ Cup Starch Balls
• Instant Chocolate Jell-o
• Cherry Jell-o
• Dark Chocolate Bar
• Chocolate Graham Crackers

Really nice.

I have just to object that you lack of vegetables in your bento, wich makes it unbalanced, carrot or paprika cogs would have sufficed.

But okay, once in a while it is okay to go full carbs and proteines :D

Thank you for sharing

This is my interpretation of a Bento box meal. You are more than welcome to add more vegetables or a salad on the side.
